You can take the collective backbone of Red Sox management, including Cherrington and Valentine and rap it around all the telephone poles at the Kremlin on Yawkey Way. Troy Brown is a comperable player to Youkilis, although more well liked. Plays to win, plays hard, plays hurt, played any position without wimpering, unlike our Bard, who can neither read the outline of the plate or write the word team on his uniform. If Troy Brown went to Bill Belichick, because he was totally disgusted with some stopper wananbees, and an ingrate of a catcher, do you honestly think for one minute Bill would let Troy swing slowly in the wind like the Sox did to Youk. And, would Belichick take no action agaist the frauds that stole money from the team,and disrespested the fans by eating chicken and drinking beer during games? So Nick, when you stop waxing up your baseball cards, try asking Teddy Bruschi or Rodney Harrison what they would do with the stiffs who quit on the fans and the team AND ARE STILL HERE. Meanwhile the man who played hard every day IS GONE. NOW YOU KNOW WHY THE PATS ARE THE PATS AND THE SOX-THE'RE THE MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT HAS TO BUY THE BIGGEST HOUSE ON THE BLOCK TO LOOK AT FIRST GLANCE LIKE PROFESSIONALS.
